VOL. XXXI.
SPRING GREETING OF
EDGAR L. ROGERS!
Leader, and Regulator of Low Prices.
Mv almost Miraculous success in Barnesville for the past lour yf-ars has stimulated
me to even greater exertions to please the people and merit their patronage for this sea
son. Good Goods, new styles, low prices, and square dealings will bo in the future as in
the past, my business motto. Keep an eye on iny goods and prices and I will never fai
to save you money.
To try to give the people even an idea of my immense spring stock and how cheap I
am selling goods would require a whole paper, so be silent that ye may hear of just a
few of niv many wonders.
DRESS GOODS.
Tn these 1 have the best selections, the neatest styles, and the biggest variety ever
shown in this market. My Dress Goods stock embraces everything from the finest Al
hatros, Kabolitie and Bonole cloths down to the cheapest Cashmeres even as low as 6c.
per yard and the beauty of the whole thing is that I can give you trimmings and but
tons &c. to match them all.
WHITE GOODS.
My Whit e Goods stock is truly marvelous White Lawns sc. a vard up, Check Muslin’s
7c. per yard up. White Swiss and Mulls, India Linen, Checked Nainsooks, and in fact
1 have got them all.
EMBROIDERERS AND LACES.
Here is where I can interest you, for I certainly have got them this season, and all
competition on Hamburg*, especially must stand aside. Jlv Bc. Edges and insertions are
the talk of everybody, who ha' seen them, and the 10c. 12jc. 15c. 20c. and 25c. Line are
truly wonderful. I have Embroideries and Laces this time from the very cheapest to
the highest grade of all overs and Flouncing*. Come to see them and be parulvzed.
PARASOLS.
The immense Factories of New York and Philadelphia, have done their best for me,
and fixed me in this line with the very latets novelties from 15c. to 10.0(> Don’t buy,
or even look at a Parasol or Umbrella until you have seen mine.
GENTS FURNISHING GOODS.
M y stoek of Gents Furnishing Goods is larger and more complete than 1 ever dream
ed that I could carry here; but the prices and styles will sell them. My 50c, Laundred
ami ITnlaundried White Shirts are clinchers, and need to be seen to be appreciated. I
am headquarters for fine Shirts in plain and plaited bosom, Fine Scarfs and nobby collars
and culfs.
SHOES AND HATS.
Shoes and good honest Shoes, are in mind a great item to the retail dealer. lam agent
for some of tne best Factories and am prepared to St you lip in Shoes at low figures and
give you a guarantee on them, and as for hats I make them a specialty and have some
treats in store for vo>: . this line.
CLOTHING.
Clothing has boon a life long study with me, and I don’t believe myself presumptuous
when 1 say that 1 think I knovf the wants of the people in this line. I have the cele
brated Voorheis Miller and ltupel Goods that have a world wide reputation for their
superior goods, elegant fits, and handsome make up. My Clothing stock is now filled to
overflowing, and 1 am ready to let them slide at my usual low prices.
I thank my friends and customers for past favors and trust to merit their patronage
even more liberally in the future. Messrs. J. F. Howard and B. Z. Holmes are with me
and will always be glad to serve their old friends and customers. Yours to please,
EDGAR L. ROGERS.

■ Thunder, Lighting and Rain.
Meteorologists have found there
can he no thunder and lightning
without rain. XX'hen thunder is
heard beneath a clear sky’, the re
ports must either come from distant
clouds or be the result of some other
cause than a discharge of electricity.
Harvest or heat lightning is produ
ced by’ a distant storm. Thunder
seldom accompanies heat lightning,
the sound reaching only about twelve
miles, while lightning is often seen,
by reflection upon nearer clouds, at
a much greater distance.

Father, 1 will that they also, whom
thou hast given me, be with ine where I
am ; that they may behold my glory, which
thou hast given me for thou lovedat me be
fore the foundation Mjffthe world” —John
xvii, 24.
The prayer of the Saviour rises as
it proceeds. He asked for his peo
ple that they migit be preserved
from the world, then that they might
be sanctified, and l then that they
might be made mnnStestly one; and
now he reaches bi**3browning point
—that they mat' tiuMjrith him where
lie is, and behold his glory,. It is
well when in prayer tho spirit takes
to itself wings. The prayer that
swings to and fro like a door upon
its hinges may admit to fellowship;
but that prayer is more after the di
vine pattern which, like a ladder, ri
ses round by round, until it loses it
self in heaven. This last step of our
Lord’s prayer is not,only above all
the rest, but it is a longer step thaji
any of the others. He here as
cends, not from one blessing which
may be enjoyed on earth, to another
of higher degree; but he mounts
right away from all that is of this
present state into tha< which is re
served for the eternal future. He
quits the highest peaks of grace, and
at a single stride his prayer sets its
toot in glory: ‘‘That they also, when
thou hast ‘given me, be with me
where I am.”
Mv brethren, my comrades, my
delights, are leaving me tor the bet
ter land. We have enjoyed holy and
happy fellowship in days of peace,
and we have stood shoulder to shoul
der in the battle of the Lord ; but we
are melting away. Oue has gone; an
other has gone ; betore we look round
another will have departed. We
see them for a moment, ar.d they’
vanish from our gaze.
Who among us will go next? We
stand like men amazed. Some of
ns stood next in the vark with those
who have been taken Why this
constant thinning of our ranks while
the warfare is so stern ? Why this
removal oflhe very best when we so
much need the noblest examples? 1
am bowed down, ~n •ojjd host ex
-O'U”--T3 mj'Toli in a ustw of tears as
- the line of graves so newly
digged; hut I restrain myself from
so carnal a mode of regarding the
matter, and look upon it in a clear
er light. The master is gathering
the ripest of his fruit, and well doth
he deserve them. His own dear
hand is putting his apples of gold in
to his baskets of silver; and as we
see that it is the Lord, we are bewil
dered no longer. His word, as it
comes before us in the text, calms
and quiets our spirits. It dries, our
tears, and call us to rejoicing as we
hear our heavenly Bridegroom pray
mg, “Father, I will that they also,
whom thou hast given me, be with
me where I am.” We understand
why the dearest and best are going.
We see in whose hand is heid the
magnet which attracts them to
the skies. One by one they must
depaitfrom this low land country
to dwell above, in the palace of the
King, for Jesus is drawing them to
himself. Our dear babes go home
because “he ’gathereth the iambs
with his arm and earneth them in
his bosom”; and our ripe saints go
home because the Beloved is come
into his garden to gather li 1 lies.
Observe our Lord had said, “Holy
Father,” and toward the close of the
prayer he said, “O righteous Father”;
but in commencing this particular
petition he uses the word “Father”
by itselfalone : this relationship is in
itself so dear that it agrees best
with the loftiest petition. I like to
think of that name “Father,” as used
in this connection. Is it not the
centre of living unity. If there is
to be a family gathering and reun
ion, where should it be hut in the
father’s house? Who is at the head
of the table but the father? All the
interest of the children unite in the
parent, and he feels for them all.
WHAT CAN BE MORE RIGHT THAN THAT
CHILDREN SHOULD Go HOME TO
THEIR FATHER?
Fora him thes’ came to him they
owe their life; should they not al
ways tend toward him, and should
not this be the goal of their being,
that the\* should at last dwell in his
presence? To go away from the
lather and to live apart troin him
is the sorrow ol our tallen nature as
it plays the prodigal ; but the cora
nnng back to the father is restora
tion to life, to peace, to happiness
Yes. all our hopeful steps are toward
the Father. Shall any one of us la
raent the process? No; we dare not
complain that our choicest brethren
are taken up to gladden the great
lather s house. Our brother is gone ;
but we ask, “where is he gone?’ and
when the answer comes, “he is
gone to the father,” all notion of
complaint is over. To whom else
should he go? When the great First
born went away from ns, he told his
sorrowing followers that he was go
ing to their father and his father;
and that answer was enough. So,
when our friend, or our child, or our
wife or our brotner. is goue. it is
enough that he is with the father.
To call them back due* not occur to
us; but rather we each one desire to
follow after them.
“Father I long, I faint to see
The place of thine abode:
I’d leave thine earthly courts and flee
Up to thy seat my God.”
A child may bo happy at school, but
he longs for the hollidays. Is it
merely to escape his lessons? Ah,
no! Ask him, and he will tell you,
“I want to go home to see my father.”
The same is equally true, and possi
ble more so, if we include the femi
nine form of parentage. What a
home cry is that of “mother” ! The
sight of that dean face has been
longed and hungered for oy many a
child when tar away. Mother or
father, which you will; they are
blended in the great fatherhood of
God. Let it but be said that any
one has gone to his father, and no
further question is asked as to the
right of his going thither. To the
father belongs the first possession of
the child; should he not have his own
chdil at home? The Saviour wipes
our tears away with a handkerchief
which is marked in the corner with
this word—“father.”
The force which draws us home
lies in the word, “I will.” Jesus
Christ, our most true God, veiled in
human form, bows his knee and
prays, and throws his divine energy
into the prayer for the bringing
homo of his redeemed. This one ir
resistible, everiastinly almighty
prayer carries everthing before it.
“father, I will that they also, whom
thou hast given me, he with me
where I am,” is the centripetal en
ergy which is drawing all the family
of God toward its one home. How
shall the chosen get home to the
father? Chariots are provided.
Here are the chariots of fire and
horses of fire in this prayer. “I
will,” sayth Jesus, “that they be
with me”; and with him they must
be. There are difficulties in the
way—long nights and darkness lie
between, and hills of guilt, and for
ests of trouble, and hands of fierce
tern ptations ; yet the pilgrims shall
surely reach their journey's end, for
the lord’s “I will” shall be a wall of
fire round about them. In this pe
titition I see both sword and shield
for tho church militant. Here I see
the eagles’ wings on which they shall
be upborne till they enter within the
golden gates. Jesus saith, “L will ;”
and who is he that shall hinder tho
home-coming of the chosen ? As
well hope to arrest the marches of
the stars of Heaven. You cannot
hol,d your dying babe; for Jesus
nsiv.-! ' ■ - i- . Ti'.m, new.
you come into competition with
your Lord? Surely y’ou will not.
You cannot hold your aged father,
nor detain your beloved mother, be
yond the time appointed ; for the
intercession of Christ has such a
force about it that they must as
cend even as sparks must seek the
sun.
More than intercession is found
in the expression “I will.” it sug
gests the idea ot a testamentary be
quest and appointment. The Lord
Jesus is making His last will and
testament, and he writes, “father. 1
will that they also, whom thou hast
given me, ne with me.” How are
the saints to be hindered from what
the Lord wills? They must rise
from their beds of dust and silent
clay ; they must rise to bo with
Jesus where He is, for Jesus wills it.
By your axious care you may seek
to detain them ; you may sit about
their bed and nurse them both night
and day, but they must quit these
dark abodes when Jesus gives the
signal. Tou may clutch them with
with affectionate eagerness, and even
cry in despair.” They shall not go,
we cannot bear to part with them” ;
but go they must when Jesus calls.
Take back your naughty hands,
which would detain them ; for
naughty they are if you would rob
your Saviour. Would you cross His
will ? Would you set at naught His
testament? You could not if 3-ou
would ; 3’ou would not if you could.
Father be inclined to go "with them
than think to resist the heavenly at
traction which upraises them. If
Jesus saith, “1 will,’ then it is yours
to say, “not as 1 will, but as thou
wilt. They were never so much
mine as they are thine. 1 never
had so much right to them as thou
hast who hast bought them. They
never so truly could be at home
with me as they will be at home
with thee in thine own bosom ; so
my will dissolves itself into thy
will, and I say with steadfast resig
nation, ‘let them go.’ ”
Brothers and sisters, yon perceive
the forces which are bearing away
our beloved ones. I see tender
hands reaching after us ; they are
invisible to sense, but palpable to
faith. Lords of love are being cast
about the chosen, and they are be
ing drawn out secretly from their
fellows. Would you break those
bands asunder, and cast those cords
from us? I beseech 3'ou, think not
so; but let that pierced hand which
bought the beloved ones seek out its
own purchase and bring them home.
Should not Jesus have his own ? Do
we not bow our knee jand pray to
Jesus, “Thy will be done on earth,
as it is in Heaven” ?
The description is, “they also,
whom thou hast given me.” I feel
right glad that there is no sort of
personal character mentioned here,
but onl\' —“those whom thou hast
given me." It seems as if the Lord
in his last moments was not so much
looking at the fruit of grace as at
grace itself; he did not so much
note either the perfections or the
imperfections of His people, but only
the fact that they were His by
the eternal gift of the Father.
THEY BELONGED TO THE FATHER—
“thine they were.” The Father gave
them to lesus—“thou gavest them
me.” The Father gave them as
a love token and a means at his
Son’s glorification—“thine they were
and thou gavest them me” ; and now
our Lord pleads that because they
were the Father’s gift to him he
should have them with him. Does
anybody raise a cavil as to Christ’s
right to have those with him who
were his Father’s, whom his Father
gave him, and whom he himself act
ually took into his own possession ?
No, they ought to be with him, since
the}' are his in so divine a manner.
If i possess a love-token that some
dear one has given me I rightly do
sire to have it with me. Nobody
can have such a right to your wed
ding-ring, good sister, as you have
yoursell, and are not Christ’s saints,
as it were, a signet upon his finger,
a token which his Father gave him
of his good pleasure in him ? Should
the}’ not be with Jesus where he is,
since they are his crown-jewels and
his glory* ? We in our creature love
litt up our hands, and cry, “my
Lord, my Master, let me have this
dear one with me a little longer. I
need the companionship of one so
sweet, or life will be misery to me.”
But if Jesus looks us in the face, and{
say’s, “is thy right better than mine?’*
we draw back at once. He has a
greater part in his saints than wt"
can have. O Jesus, thy r Father gav
